McDowell suffers Sawgrass meltdown

It was not a repeat of Rory McIlroy’s complete nightmare at The Masters, but it was perilously close to it for Graeme McDowell as golf’s richest event turned sour on him at Sawgrass tonight.

Korean KJ Choi won the £1million-plus first prize at the Players Championship after American David Toms, having made a brilliant 17-foot birdie putt to tie on the last, three-putted from the same distance at the first extra hole.
